A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Football Killer sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Association football's first unified Laws of the Game were drawn up in London in 1863. A second detail makes the picture even better: Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
